●      The BigFix Compliance PCI Add-on team is pleased to announce the
availability of the new checklist for BigFix Compliance PCI Add-on: PCI DSS
Checklist for AIX 7.x.

●      This new checklist is based on the guidance provided by the Payment
Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) v4.0.1 and contains security
configuration checks that evaluate the security settings of your AIX
endpoints according to the PCI DSS standard.

●      As with most of the existing PCI DSS contents in the BigFix
Compliance PCI Add-on library, this checklist includes checks with:

○      Approximately 40% of checks use BigFix relevance for continuous
compliance.

○      Corresponding analyses properties to report actual values.

○      Standardized titles, descriptions, and measured values for enhanced
readability and consistency.

○      The ability to ensure correctness of compliance data.

○      Some of the checks allow you to use the parameterized setting to
enable customization for compliance evaluation.

○      Most of the checks also support remediation that allows BigFix
operators to efficiently remediate a non-compliance issue with a single
action.

●      The following PCI DSS Policies are refreshed with the latest content
from the PCI DSS Checklist for AIX 7.x site:
